Description
Supporting people experiencing changed behaviours associated with dementiaThis app is focused on understanding and helping people experiencing changed behaviours and psychological symptoms associated with dementia. This version was developed to provide guidance for clinicians. The partner app CareForDementia was developed for care partners, families and care workers. UNSW Sydney received funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care to develop both apps.
By downloading this app you agree to the disclaimer below.
The app provides summary information relevant to the most commonly presenting behaviours and psychological symptoms associated with dementia (BPSD)*:
•A description of the symptom and how it presents in dementia
•Potential causes and/or contributing factors
•Differential diagnosis
•Assessment tools
•Principles of care or conclusions based on a review of available literature
•Precautions
•Suggested psychosocial, environmental, biological and pharmacological interventions with research quality and outcomes of the available evidence
•Brief clinical scenario
The content of this app is based on the document A clinician’s BPSD guide: Understanding and helping people experiencing changed behaviours and psychological symptoms associated with dementia (Clinician’s BPSD Guide, 2023) in development by the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA), which will replace the current document Behaviour Management - A Guide to Good Practice: Managing Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD Guide, 2012). Both unabridged documents provide a comprehensive evidence and practice-based overview of principles, practical strategies and interventions to support people living with dementia.
Disclaimer
This App was developed to provide a quick reference guide which will assist clinicians in the field when they are presented with behaviours and psychological symptoms associated with dementia (BPSD). This App is provided for general information only and does not claim to reflect all considerations. It is recommended that clinicians consult the unabridged documents, A clinician’s BPSD guide (2023) or the BPSD Guide (2012) for more detailed information. As with all guidelines, recommendations may not be appropriate for use in all circumstances.
It is strongly recommended that those providing care to a person with dementia seek assessment and guidance from an appropriate health professional before implementing strategies suggested in this App. It is intended that the information included in this App be read in combination with and subject to advice from health professionals experienced in supporting people who present with BPSD. See the app for full disclaimer.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
